This are great news! I’m just downloading the last patch(es) as I didn’t play any more since 3D got broken and now I can’t wait to get back to Tyria… Thank You so much for listening to our feedback and bringing back my faith in MMORPGs
Update: Started the game and can confirm that the game is playable in 3D again! Would be nice if UI issues like broken target rings could be fixed, too. But with the right settings the most annoying issues are removed. I know where I will spend the next hours, days…
@BunjiKugashira: So even Tridef isn’t working any more?! When Darkdna said that it would be “fine” with Tridef I even was thinking about buying new hardware that works with Tridef to be able to play GW2 again. But now even this hope to revive GW2 for me got smashed
Arenanet: PLEASE give us the option to use the old lighting engine again!!!
I won’t play Guild Wars 2 any more if they just drop the support for 3DVision. Stereoscopic 3D is to me not a “nice to have” but needless gimmick. To me it’s an essential gameplay element. To be forced to play in 2D feels to me like others would feel if they had to change from 5.1 surround to mono sound and 32bit colors to 256. This is not the same game any more – and not a game I want to play furthermore. Guild Wars 2 was my first MMORPG I have played. And maybe it will be my last (at least from ArenaNet). It was a very frustrating experience that a game I have put hundreds of hours and my heart and soul into can just be killed by single patch that removes a basic feature of the game (without mentioning it or even being noticed?!). This really hurts! In the future I will stick to offline RPGs that allow me to decide whether I want them to get patched or not. Thank You for teaching me this lesson
I can’t use Tridef3D with my hardware and besides from that I wouldn’t like to pay for 3rd party software when I was able to play the game all the time with my Nvidia 3Dvision hardware and drivers. It would be great if Nvidia would release a driver that could fix the issues after the fix. But I don’t expect this to happen without cooperation from ArenaNet. And I fear that each company passes the buck to the other regarding a fix for this bug. To me the best solution is still to offer the option to use the old lighting system for 3DVision users.
I have also reported it as a bug – IT IS A BUG if a graphic option (3D-rendering) isn’t working any more. So I think we all should do that.
Also the Nvidia rating as “excellent” should be changed to “not recommended” and advertising about the support for stereoscopic gameplay should be removed. Regarding the increasing interest in virtual reality and the introduction of the first person view in the game for better immersion it would be a fatal signal when the developers would drop the support for stereoscopic gameplay just now.
Especially as we already had a perfect lighting system for 3D and we only need the option to continue using this system in the future.
I can confirm that I have several issues regarding stereo 3D after the patch.
As there are many issues I don’t expect the developers to fix their new lighting system to be 3D vision compatible. BUT it would be very helpfull if they could offer the option to use the old lighting system that worked perfectly with 3D vision.
